If you hate your glasses because you think they always ruin your makeup, think again. Glasses actually bring attention to your face and a pair of nice glasses can create a huge difference. So, stop blaming the specs when your makeup is ruined. All you need is finding the right ways to make it last long!

(A) Base makeup
Any makeup junkie who wears glasses would know that the makeup on your nose is always rubbed off by the nose pads of your glasses in the middle of the day. What’s worst is that there’ll even be a mark left on the bridge when you remove your glasses.

So, this is what you’re going to do.
1. If the base makeup matches your skin tone, skip the bridge of the nose when you are applying your foundation. Instead, dab some loose powder on it to help control oil.
2. Some prefer to have a foundation that’s lighter than their skin tone. It’s okay too. If that’s you, then you should apply just a thin layer of foundation on your nose bridge, and dab some loose powder on it gently. Keep in mind that the foundation can’t be too thick as it could become cakey.
**Every time after you put on foundation, use a brush to apply loose powder on both sides of your nose so that your makeup lasts longer**
(B) Eye makeup
Sisters, remember that eyeliner and eye shadow are essential when you want to have your makeup on while wearing glasses, according to the experts.
1. Linear brow shape is popular but does not suit glasses wearer because the parallel shape and glasses frames may make you look nerdy.
For glasses wearers, slightly arched brow shape or your natural brow shape will do the job just right. All you need to do is fill your brows with brow powder.
**Your brows should be taller than the frames. As for those who have short foreheads, make your brow color lighter to get the result**
2. When applying eyeliner on the bottom lid, using a soft eyeliner powder will ensure a flattering result.
After that, lighten the shade by rubbing it gently with a cotton swab to create a smudgy effect.
3. Even if you’re not fond of applying eyeliner to bottom lids, don’t go lazy and skip your mascara for the big-eyed look~
**False eyelashes are not recommended as they may touch the lens. And remember to only wear your glasses after the mascara dries**
4. Your eye makeup should be really simple if you’re going to wear glasses, that’s why for eye shadow, a matte one would be nice. And the classic earth tone is the safest and easiest color to apply.

For a bigger eye, you want to start with a lighter color, then a darker one in the eye crease, and finally rim your lash lines in the darkest color.
**Do not apply pink or purple shadow to avoid puffy-looking eyes**
You may also highlight the makeup with a shimmery shadow.

Next, highlight the marked areas with a highlighter for a super shimmery glow.
(D) Lip makeup
If you prefer your lip makeup to be heavy, skip the eye shadow part and apply only eyeliners and mascara.
